The NOrmandie Cattle.
Western AgriculturiSt.

The Normandie breed of cattle has at
tracted the attention of our American
consul at Havre, France, on account of
their superior dairy qualities of milk and
butter, together with their large size and
fine feeding qualities. He strongly rec
ommends their importation in America,
and having looked into their ancient
breeding, their established nerd book and
their large yield of milk, he sees valu-
able improvement for the enterprising
American breeder, dairymen and farmer.
We were much interested in this wonder
full breed of dairy cattle while IN France
last season. Their rich pas ures and fine
early cut clover hay has much to do with
it, but they do give an enormous yield of
milk, often MIXED three times a day. and
their Normandie butter sells in London
and Paris markets at the highest price.
At the last fat stock show at Paris the
Normandie steers took both first and sec
ond grand prizes over the Shorthorns and
other breeds in competition. There is a
bright future for this breed of cattle in
America.

Weary Women.

Weary Women.
Nothing is more thoroughly wrong
than the idea that woman fulfills her
duty by doing an amount of work that is
far beyond her strength. She not only
does not fulfill her duty, but she most
signally fails in it, and the failure is
truly deplorable. There can be no sad
der sight than that of broken down,
overworked wife and mother-a woman
who is tired all her life through. If the
work of the household cannot be accom-
| plished by order, system, and moderate
work, without the necessity of wearing,
heart-breaking toil-toil that is never
ended and never begun without making
life treadmill Of labor, then, for the
sake of humanity, let the work go. Bet
ter live in ths midst of disorder than that
order should be purchased at SO high a
price the cost Of health, strength, hap
piness, and all that makes existence en-
durable. The woman who spends her
life in unnecessary labor is by this very
labor united for the highest duties of
home. She should be the haven of rest
to which both husband and children turn
for peace and refinement. She should be
the careful, Intelligent adviser and guide
of the one, the tender confident and helf-
mate of the other. How is it possible
for woman exhausted in body, and,
as a natural consequence, in
mind, also, to perform either of these
offices? No, it is not possible. The con-
slant strain is too great. Nature gives
way beneath it. She loses health and
spirit and hopefulness, and, more than
ALL her youth-the last thing in the
world that q woman should allow to slip
from her, for no matter how old she is in
years she should be young in hear and
feeling, for the youth of age is some
times more attractive than youth itself.
70 the overworked woman this green
old age is out of the question. Old age
comes on her, sere and yellow, before its
time. Her disposition is ruined, her
very nature is changed by the burden,
which, too heavy to carry, is dragged
along as long as wearied feet and tired
hands can do their part. Even her affec-
tions are blunted and she becomes mere
ly machine-a woman without the time
to be womanly, mother without time to
train and guide her children as only a
mother can, wife without the time to
sympathize with and cheer her husband,
woman so over worked during the day
that when night comes her sole thought
and most intense longing is for the rest
AID sleep that very probably will not
come; and, even if it should, that she is
too tired to enjoy. Better by far let
everything go unfinished, to live as best
she can, than to entail on herself and her
family the curse of over work.-Sanitary

SAL1ING THE CATTLE.
[gosToN EVENING TRANSCRIPT


"Johnl John' cried, for Ispied the rover
Where you going, John? May I go,

Your voice came family up across the clover,
"To salt thu cattle Yes" Away flew.

And led me out into the dewey morn
Then we sped on. Did our feet touch the gras-
Or did we glide, as sometimes in dreams,
Without motion save the thought that passes,
And wills us onward over fields and streamsl

And fragrant spruce trees wooed us long to

We had not learned all pleasing things to meas

We tried TO find the thrush that sang below US,
He led us through wild mazes in his fight;
But, oh, what wonders did the woodland show

With shy, small creatures hurrying from

Then shut our eyes, and whirling round and

Soon every trace of path and home hsd van

And we were lost in that enchanted ground.
No hint from sun or pointing shadow needing,
We went the way we found our faces set;
Which leo us out TO where the herd was feed

And brought to mind our task neglected yet.
When, at your call, they came with eager scurry
You laughed aloud to see my look of fright
But helped me climb where, free from childish

looked down calmly from powders height

Surging about the base of my retreat,
And marveled at you, as with tranquil feat

Fish and Hares.

The Country Gentleman favors an Iowa
inquirer with the following bit of infor
nation anent the culture of German carp
and the rearing of rabbits for market:
"Carp culture is new industry, and SO
far has not become sufficiently establish
ed to make any market for the product
as food. It is scarcely probable that it
will afford any extensive business, because
Americans are not much given to eating
fish, and we can not judge here from the
reports from European countries, where
fish is eaten much more than here, on &C.
count of the numerous fast days. It
may provide home supply of desirable
food, where fish are scarce and OF inferior
kinds. The carp is fish whose quality
for the table depends greatly upon cook
ing, and this is another reason why it will
probably never be favorite dish. It is
very easily reared, as it does not require
running water, and lives best in ponds
with muddy bottom. In Iowa, where
| the winters are cold, it will hibernate,
| burying itself in the mud, and remaining
there until the water becomes warm in
the spring. During this season it makes
no growth hence the rapid increase in
| weight reported in some cases, as where
| the winters are mild and the ponds freeze
but seldom, can not be expected in north
ern localities, where the fish feed only
| half the year and get very poor through
the winter. The question of profit must
| depend very much upon local circum-
stances, but for domestic consum ption
there is no doubt that pond stocked with
carp may be made quite profitable in
vestment, and local demand may no
doubt be encouraged for some consider
able part of the product.
The climate OF Iowa is favorable for
keeping and rearing the northern hare,
| which is readily disposed of in the mar
kets, and reaches a weight of pounds.
This hare is quite equal to the English
species, and when well fed has excellent
meat. 1t requires cover tor winter
protection-low growing evergreens and
deciduous shrubberY affording it large
quantity of food when the ground is Gov
cred with snow. The food for the re-
naming part of the year may consist of
winter rye, mustard, rape, clover, tur-
nips and clover hay and oats are readily
eaten in the winter, when they are most in
| demand and sell for about loo POI ID or
81 each.

Churchill Speaks.

LONDON, June 3.--At meeting at
Wolverhampton this evening Lord
Randolph Churchill advised the
unionists to make solid stand. Glad
stone was equally as determined as
When parliament reassembled strong
measures ought to be adopted to pre-
vent the crimes bill being amended
till it became useless. Returning to
the question of economy he con-
demned the expenditures for the army
and navy essayed under the present
system. The country was travelling at
racing speed along the road leading
to utter and irretrievable ruin. In the
event of war England might, after a
maddening delay, by pouring out
money like water, put 10000 men in
the field. Doubtless England had a
very powerful fleet on paper, but not a
single fortress of strategic importance
throughout the empire properly pro-
visioned and many entirely unarmed
and pnprovisioned. Every depart
ment of the military and naval service
is supplied with defective weapons de-
spite the expenditures. There was not
at home transportation facilities for
10000 men. Lord Randolph then
related several incidents illustrative OF
the truth of the statement, depicting
the helpless condition of u part of the
fleet after bombarding Alexandria and
the miserable condition of the ord
nance and ammunition in the Khar-
toum expedition. He heard that in
1856 the ordnance committee designed
several forty-three ton guns and asked
Armstrong to construct fifteen OF
them. Armstrong protested that the
design was bad, but he was told to
mind his own business and make
the guns. When they were made
Captain Noble refused to send them,
telling them they would burst. He
also was told to mind his own busi-
ness. Four of the guns were put
aboard the Collingwood and on the
second round of firing half cartridge
one of them burst. The whole were
then condemned at loss OF two hun
dred thousand pounds. Lord Ran
dolph made numerous other revelations
in effect to the inefiiciency and bad
ness in the designs for new vessels for
the fleet. He said: perhaps you
understand the sort Of system OF ex-
pending public money against which
| dashed myself and utterly refused to
be connected with for a day or an
hour" At the close of his speech
Lord Randolph said he had plan
which would make reduced and
sweeping revolution and would place
the country in n position to fairly per
feet its military and naval prepara'
| tons and save much money.

CRY OF MExIco, (via Gnlveston,)
June 2.--Despite the fact that the
clerical party ridicule the reported
plot to incite revolution and place
Don Carlos..on the throne of Mexico,
and that leading politicians OF the
liberal party assert there Is not
shadow of foundation for the sensa-
tional report, the Monitor Republican,
q very influential liberal journal, con-
tains to-day IA significant leading arti-
Gle which claims TO have special inior-
nation for its basis, The tone of the
article is intensely hostile to the
clerical party. The writer begins by
saying that he would have regarded
the report us the offspring OF that
love OF sensation, which is strong
feature of American journalism, had it
not been for certain confirmatory
intelligence received from an inde.
pendent source. This private intelli-
gence hints dimly at n vast organization
with the clerical party for the over
throw of the republic and for setting
up throne in its stead and placing
Don Carlos on it. A number OF
wealthy Spaniards residing here ,infatu-
ated with the wild hope OF restoring
the days OF Spanish ascendency, are
said, by the writer to be implicated.
"But," he added, "the prime movers
are priests, those worthy successors to
Reguemada and his compeers, the
same whom in 1868 betrayed their
country to the French and who would
not hesitate to do the same to-day If
in that way they could attain their
selfish ends" The writer then launches
into violent denunciation, OF the
clerical party and the notice OF the
increasing boldness in church party
press. Seldom" he says, edo we
pick up one of these sheets but we find
it filled with shameless panegyrics on
despotism and bitter invictives against
those who refuse to bow their necks
to the yoke of superstition. Go and
hear our preachers. Instead of incul-
eating meekness and charity, the foun-
dation OF our religion, they inveigh
against our constitution and hold up
its authors to the execration of their
hearers" The writer calls on the gov
ernment to lay aside its temporizing
policy and keep stern watch on the
movements of those men who are al
ready so deeply stained with blood OF
their fellow countrymen. He con-
cludes by warning Don Carlos against
evil advisers and bids him remember,
Gel Cero De Las Companas," the spot
where Maximillian Miramon and
Mexico were shot. This vigorous and
severe denuncitory article excited
much comment and the reply of the
clerical press is looked for with great
interest. The Monitor has also adj
vices from the state of Oaxaca inti-
mating that members of the church
party are conspiring against the gov
ernment, an d the Ferro Cavrills, a
newspaper published at Oaxaca, refer
ring to the same subject, urges the
government to take stern repressive
measures
